Hi,
I'm having problems with the new way of handling the TODO file, in
both branches. It has moved from guile-core/TODO to
workbook/tasks/TODO.
When invoking "make dist", the file does not exist and there is no rul
to create it. Rather, the dist-hook target copies it from the
workbook.
However, this is too late. The dist-hook is run _after_ the
distribution directory (in $distdir) has been built, not before.
Additionally, the dist-hook target is meant to modify the contents of
$distdir, not the $srcdir (or build dir in case of a VPATH build).
As a fix, I propose to remove this code from guile-core/Makefile
if MAINTAINER_MODE
# Fill dist tree.
include $(top_srcdir)/am/maintainer-dirs
dist-hook:
( echo 'This is a snapshot of the TODO file.' ; date ; echo ; \
cat $(workbook)/tasks/TODO ) > TODO
endif
and add this line to guile-core/autogen.sh
ln -s $workbook/tasks/TODO TODO
I have done this change already in order to be able to proceed, but
please feel free to suggest a better solution. (One tempting thing is
to not distribute TODO at all.)
